The $1,000 Honda Accord EX Coupe needs a bit of mechanical help. Let's dig into it and fix everything setting the check engine light. The CEL is set for codes: P1259, P040, and P0132. We're starting with the P0404 by removing the EGR valve, cleaning it, removing all the old gasket material, and replacing the gasket with a Fel-Pro https://amzn.to/2JeBut6

After the EGR valve was ready to be reinstalled I removed the VTEC solenoid to resolve the P1259 code. There was some oil around the solenoid but nothing serious. From what I've seen these are rather sensitive to any oil leak or low pressure condition. I removed the solenoid assembly, tested it, cleaned everything up and replace both seals with the Dorman 917-170 kit https://amzn.to/2JewLYu

Replacing the spark plugs changed the scope of work a bit, one spark plug tube was nearly full of oil and is the likely cause for the erratic rough idle.The spark plugs were replaced with 4 NGK V-Power Platinums https://amzn.to/2LoLdzU

After that I finished the job with a new valve cover gasket set and a new air filter.
